π¬ A Note from Dr. Kari Roan
Mustang Families:
Happy fall, y'all! By now, we are getting even more into the swing of how to do middle school at Moseley, and one way we have of keeping families "in the loop" is via our Minga platform. This tool, new this year to the secondary campuses as a whole in Prosper ISD, allows us to praise what we want to raise in our school community. Take a moment to sit with your student and have them pull up their Minga dashboard to show you what is there. Ask them to explain their praises (positives) and guidances (challenges). Together, you can set goals with your student around what you see. (Mustangs- have you read your email to see what Minga Rewards exist?) We continue to make tweaks to Minga @ Moseley so that it serves our staff and students.
This week is our second pep rally of the year, so we will be on an alternate schedule this Friday. Remember that all students who need to buy lunch can from the limited pep rally day menu; we do encourage students to bring their lunch. In advance of Friday's festivities, please visit with your student about cafeteria and pep rally expectations by accessing the button below! While our student population is too large to open up attendance to all of our parents and community, please see the PTO announcement below about how you might be able to take part in our upcoming pep rally!
As we prepare to finish up this quarter, please be sure to see the weekly agenda below and work with your student to finish well.
Let's RIDE!
